Chapter 80: Disappointment
"Yes, Brother Li, Xiao Mo's craftsmanship is ugly." Xiao Mo is very modest, if her dish is ugly, Yuan Qing's dish can basically be out.
"It tastes good." Li Chen said lightly. The meals he eats on weekdays are all made by the chef, Yuan Qing's dishes, he said that they are average at best, and Xiao Mo's dishes, he said they are very good, which means that Xiao Mo's skills are really good.
Yuan Qing was slightly embarrassed to eat on the side, is the food I made so unpalatable? In this era when women are generally cooking at home, Yuan Qing is afraid that he has also been affected by the tide of the times, and began to reflect on how to improve his cooking skills......
However, reflection is reflection, and her heart is more biased, anyway, the dishes she cooks can be eaten...... Broken car.
Such a girl, she is beautiful, her cooking skills are good, her age is appropriate, and her personality is docile, and there are hundreds of women in her family, even if Xiao Mo has no parents, there may not be a few people who come to ask her.
This lunch, because Xiao Mo's craftsmanship is good, everyone is full, of course, it doesn't mean that Xiao Mo didn't come here to cook, they didn't eat enough, but there are some differences, and they can't be generalized.
After lunch, Li Chen said, "I'll go to the construction site." ”
"Do you want me to go with me?" Yuan Qingdao.
"No, you just have to be here with them." After Li Chen finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Brother Li, come back early." Xiao Yuan shouted behind him, as if he was a little reluctant to him.
Xiao Mo just looked at his back in a daze, didn't say anything, and had nothing to say.
"Let's sit down for a moment." Yuan Qingdao.
Xiao Yuan nodded, the delicate young man's face was stained with a faint paleness, which made people sigh softly, this young man was only thirteen years old, he was sick at a young age, and his body should have been going back and forth, but he could only be accompanied by the hospital bed all day long......
"Xiaoyuan, you go out and bask in the sun. It's better for the body. Xiao Mo said.
"Hmm." Xiao Yuan nodded, got up and left.
Yuan Qing didn't understand Xiao Yuan's illness, and it was good or bad to bask in the sun more. Since his sisters said so, she had no choice but to follow them.
There were only these two girls in the hall.
"Miss Yuan, when are you and Brother Li going to leave Bilian Village?" Xiao Mo asked.
"Well, we can leave with peace of mind until the coal mine is successfully completed. When it is, I think it should be in early May. "Yuan Qingdao, mining coal mines, it takes time, and it's mid-March.
"Oh." Xiao Mo nodded.
"Xiao Mo, you can ask whatever you want." Yuan Qing said, she knew that she liked Li Chen, and since she liked him, she would naturally ask some questions about this, but the strange thing was that Yuan Qing would be so generous. Maybe she didn't take it seriously at all?
"Brother Li, has he married?" Xiao Mo asked, she already knew the answer to this question, she knew it before telling Yuan Qing that she liked Li Chen, otherwise he would not be so sure of a showdown with Yuan Qing.
"He doesn't seem to be married." Yuan Qing thought about it for a long time, she only knew that he didn't marry the princess, and the other concubines didn't seem to have any, the palace was clear and quiet, and she really couldn't see a group of wives and concubines.
"Miss Yuan. Brother Li, will he dislike me? As he spoke, Xiao Mo lowered his head.
I don't know? Yuan Qing smiled bitterly, that ice cube face was always so unfathomable, "He shouldn't dislike it." "Yuan Qing can only give this answer that is ambiguous." He rarely boasted about people. If he is willing to say that your food is delicious, it means that he still appreciates you. I can only soothe the fragile soul of this girl swaying in the wind and rain.
"I see." Xiao Mo still nodded very obediently.
The room was silent, silent for a moment. Then the girl's voice slowly sounded like a clear stream: "Miss Yuan, are you really so generous?" ”
Yuan Qing thought about this sentence and pondered it over and over again. "Miss Xiao, I think you really misunderstood, he and I are just a nominal couple who are temporary partners to hide people's eyes and ears." She reiterates.
"Even if you are not really husband and wife, don't you have any affection for him at all?" This sentence gets straight to the point. There are few women who are willing to mix with men who seem to be very rubbish, and besides, Li Chen's family background is like that, everyone will be attracted to him, has Yuan Qing never meant this?
Who will believe it?
"He looks like that all day long, why should I have affection for him?" Yuan Qing rolled his eyes and said quite strongly.
"You don't like Brother Li's character?" Xiao Mo said.
"Pretty much, I still prefer gentle." Yuan Qing nodded, thinking that the person she liked in her previous life was really gentle to her.
"I like Brother Li's temperament very much, he is very stea......dy," Xiao Mo said, praising Li Chen's few advantages.
This girl is being abused, Yuan Qing has a chill in her heart, Nima, facing an ice cube all day long, is it really that good? "Of course, if you like him, you have to like all of him, otherwise, you won't like him."
"Miss Yuan, you're right." Xiao Mo nodded.
Anyway, it is difficult for Yuan Qing to fall in love with someone, which can be glimpsed from her indifferent attitude.
After Xiao Mo repeatedly confirmed that Yuan Qing did not have those so-called affection for Li Chen, the big stone in her heart also fell, and after a small chat, she got up and said goodbye.
Yuan Qing didn't stay long, watching their sister and brother leave.
No matter what Xiao Mo thinks, Yuan Qing doesn't bother to think about anything anyway, she came to Bilian Village to dig coal, since she is here to dig coal, then dig coal well, don't forget your duty.
When the two Xiao Mo sisters and brothers returned to the door of the Xiao family, they saw a person walking towards the two of them, this person was very strong, like a battle-hardened soldier, he smiled faintly at the two sisters and brothers: "Miss Xiao, my name is Wei Fei and the prince asked me to protect you." ”
"Lord Wang? Oh, I see, thank you. Xiao Mo said, "Tonight, I'm afraid it's that Wu Dayi, he still has to come ......."
"Don't worry, girl, I will never let him hurt the two of you." Wei Feidao, he is a conscientious person, and he is also Li Chen's subordinate, who came here to take care of the coal mine, and just now sent him this side task to protect the safety of his sister and brother.
With Wei Fei here, that Wu Dayi naturally came today, and he didn't dare to come tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow would be the day after tomorrow...... He's not coming.
At dusk, Li Chen went home, the old man also went home, Yuan Qing made dinner, and the three of them ate dinner.
The old man thought of his deceased wife, and today, he went to the peach grove to accompany his deceased wife's grave to see the peach blossoms for a day, and he and his wife must be very affectionate.
Flowers bloom and fall easily, and life is not like this, spring goes to autumn, and the green silk turns gray in the blink of an eye. Flowers bloom and fall, and life is death.
At night, each freshen up and sleep, and it is dawn.
In the past few days, the old man has come out early every day and returned late, the place he wants to go to is naturally the peach forest, the peach blossoms are very beautiful for a while, but they can't withstand the final fate, how long can the flower watcher see?
On this day, the peach blossoms were finally all grateful, and the old man did not go to the peach forest again, and the spirit was a little Yanyan's nest at home, but fortunately, there were two conscientious people taking care of him, and he was not too lonely.
"Uncle Zhang, how about I play chess with you?" In the past few days, Yuan Qing saw that the old man's spirit was slowly improving beside him, and said in a flattering tone.
"Okay." The old man smiled, he was already an open-minded old man, naturally he would not be sad for too long, and people would continue to live.
So, Yuan Qing and the old man came to the small table under the melon and rattan trellis, and sat opposite, with a pair of chess on the table, red and green, quite a bit of Xiao Killing.
"Uncle Zhang, you go first." Yuan Qing adhered to the traditional virtue of respecting the old and loving the young, and humbly gave way to the old man.
"Hehe, the girl is not allowed to regret it." The old man smiled and stretched out his hand to push the chess.
"How is that possible? I'm very good at chess. Yuan Qing smiled unashamedly.
Yuan Qing has learned Go, and he naturally has to learn chess, and he has both ability and political integrity, but both of them are half-baked...... This can't be blamed for her not, people who are both civil and military only exist in legends, although Go and Xiangqi cannot be divided into civil and military.
At the beginning, Yuan Qing's state was still quite good, but the old man's chess skills were obviously higher than her, and he always gave her the most fatal blow where she thought she was perfect and impeccable......
Yuan Qing's head was big, her forehead was sweating, and none of the chess pieces on the board moved, she was about to get sick. Damn, Go was hit by the ice cube face, Chess was hit by this old man, how can labor and management live...... Yuan Qing almost burst into tears.
In this game, there were no accidents, and Yuan Qing was defeated.
Looking at the chessboard, his glory, her own miserable, she really wanted to smash the table, Yuan Qing's chess was almost eaten by him, and his chess, Yuan Qing just ate a few minions...... Isn't that a shame what?
"Again." With a low snort, Yuan Qing tried to calm himself down, calm down, and don't let anger control his thinking.
"Okay, old man, I'll let you, you go first." The old man, with the self-humility of a successful person, said lightly to the opponent who was not an opponent at all.
"Don't regret it." If you lose, you don't lose, and your mouth must not be soft.
In this game, Yuan Qing almost vomited blood, obviously she was about to win, but the old man obviously released water, let her feel the joy of the victor first, and then moved a chess piece casually, so that she had nowhere to cry, and tears could not flow......
The cruelest thing is this, which gives people the greatest hope, but at the critical moment, everything comes to naught...... Think about yourself being so hungry that you suddenly find a hearty meal of food in front of you not far away, but when you look closer, this pile of food is made of plastic.
In an instant, the world despaired.
Really, the more disappointed the hope, the greater the disappointment, and if there is no hope, there will be no disappointment. To be continued
